Catch Up!

Our Computer has been acting up lately so that is why I have been bad at updating our blog.

Not to mention my camera has not been working the greatest.

So here are some of the few photos I took this summer.

Brian's favorite store is the Pet Store. Especially Petco because they have "baby carts".

Brian and Jackson just playing!

At the Pool!

Brian loves to swim with Daddy. And he now loves to call us "Todd" and "Sarah" instead of "Daddy" and "Mommy". I thought wouldn't happen till he got older.

Brian and Jay with Grandma's kittens.

And we had a great accomplishment, Brian is now Potty Trained!

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!!

In July Grandma Ruth came down for a visit and she took us to the Zoo. Brian Loves the Zoo. He even knows how to spell zoo.

The Giant tortoises.

The Lion's Den.

The Penguin Habitat.
I guess I am not good at getting the animals in the pictures.

Just hanging out!

Here's a tiger!

Goats.

Camping with Grandma Eiko

My Mom was up visiting and she wanted to go Camping so we Packed up our new tent trailer, that we found a yard sale and headed out. We found a wonderful spot at Indian Creek near Palisades reservoir. It rained most of the time but is was nice to just get out and relax.
I think this is the cutest picture of Brian and Beau that my mom took. The Creek was running so fast and was dirty because of all the rain.

Grandma Eiko with Jackson. Jackson loves to be outside.

Todd and Brian roasting Hot dogs. And Beau thinking were is mine.

A Beautiful June Wedding

Todd's Sister Kim was married in the Rexburg, Idaho Temple on June 19, 2009 to Fredy Edwardo Vasqeuz. It was a Beautiful day for a wedding. It rained almost all of June and this day was the only day that had blue skies. We are so happy for Fredy and Kim they make a great couple!

Here is our Family on Todd's side it keeps growing and growing. His brother Matt will be getting married in August. And his brother Keith's wife Heather is expecting the first grand daughter in November. Only his Brother Kurt is not in this Picture because he is serving a mission in Mexico.

This is my favorite Picture.

I love weddings and Kim let me help all I wanted (Thanks Kim!) Here is a picture of Their Cake and Flowers that I got to Make. It was my first time making a wedding cake like this. I was very happy with the way it turned out and it tasted pretty good too!

Some Recent Pictures

Jackson is doing very well, he is just like a normal baby now. So we have been trying to get out and do things. These pictures are from the zoo here in Idaho Falls, we went with grandma Eiko and Brian's cousins. He loves the Zoo and any kind of Animals.

Brian loves to follow around his cousins Tyler and Jay. He does whatever they do.

These are some pictures from a Saturday Drive we took.

My Boys sleeping this Morning. I thought they looked pretty sweet!

Jackson using Brian Elephant towel from Shannon. I am not sure he knew how cute he looked.

Jackson's First Hair Cut

I thought it was about time for Jackson to get a hair cut. His hair was getting a little crazy! Here is the Before...


And After. I don't think he was too happy with me!

Welcome Home Baby Jackson!

Yesterday I was able to Bring Jackson Home from the Hospital. We spent Two weeks at Primary Children's Medical Center, It was quite a Journey. I never expected to bring him home so soon. I can tell you that it was a miracle, The Lord has blessed us so much. He truly hears and answers our Prayers. Thank you every one for all you thoughts and prayers you sent out for us.

Here is Jackson today, it is not the best Picture and He probably needs a Hair cut too. But he is doing well except for a little pain and sometimes a belly ache.

This Picture was before surgery, we spent a week at the Hospital before they were able to get him in for his operation. We went in because his oxygen saturation kept falling. At this time he was staying about 60%, normally we are supposed to be at 95%. So they had him on High Flow oxygen at 7 liters which is a lot. And it really blows hard in your nose, but he was a champ and didn't once complain. All the Doctors and Nurses could not believe how happy he was all the time.


Here he is the Day after surgery, They preformed the operation on Thursday, April 30 2009. As you can see he was hooked up to a lot of tubes and wires. They operation went very well. It was hard to see him like this.

My poor little Guy!

Thursday May 7, a week after surgery was my Birthday. And I had a wonderful surprise from some of my wonderful Family. They Came to visit us and threw me a little birthday celebration. It was so nice to have some visitors, It really brightened my day. Thank you so much!

Me, Kristine, Thomas, Skylie, Isabelle, Marsha, and Jackson in the Wagon.

The Best Birthday Present of all was the wonderful recovery of My sweet Baby.

Primary Children's Hospital was such a great place. There were so many great Doctors and Nurses, I can't thank them enough. I also met so many other families with similar situations and it was so wonderful to see there faith and strength. I can't believe all the little children there with illnesses were so strong and they wouldn't let anything get them down. I sure learned a lot the last 2 weeks and have gained a greater testimony of my Lord, and Savior Jesus Christ and of His Gospel. I know with out a doubt that it is True!!
